Synopsis:
“A dry martini,“ Bond said. “In a deep champagne goblet. Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice cold, then add a thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?”
“Certainly, monsieur.“
Introducing James Bond: charming, sophisticated, handsome; chillingly ruthless and very deadly. This, the first of Fleming’s tales of agent 007, finds Bond on a mission to neutralize a lethal, high-rolling Russian operative called simply “Le Chiffre“ — by ruining him at the baccarat table and forcing his Soviet spymasters to “retire“ him. It seems that lady luck is taken with James — Le Chiffre has hit a losing streak. But some people just refuse to play by the rules, and Bond’s attraction to a beautiful female agent leads him to disaster and an unexpected savior…
“A superb gambling scene, a torture scene which still haunts me, and, of course, a beautiful girl.” Raymond Chandler
